respond
- register
- respond is often more formal/neutral-reaction oriented
- syntax
- answer can take a direct object (answer the question); respond normally uses to (respond to the question)
swap risk: Do not globally replace answer + object with respond + object.
answer ↔ reply/respond
answer can directly take a question/person/phone and means give an answer; reply is a spoken/written answer and often uses reply to; respond is broader reaction/response and also commonly uses to.
